Ingredients
3 cups
1 tsp
2 cups
dry elbow macaroni pasta
2 tbsp
1/4 cup
all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups
2% milk
1 tsp
Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp
1/8 tsp
cayenne pepper, optional
1 cup
1 cup
grated light mozzarella
1/2 cup
grated gruyère
1/3 cup
panko bread crumbs
Instructions
- Position racks in centre and top third of oven. Preheat to 400F. Toss squash with oil on a baking sheet. Bake in centre of oven until tender, stirring halfway through, 16 to 18 min. Remove to a rack. Preheat broiler to 500F.
- Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water, following package directions but omitting salt, until al dente, 7 to 8 min. Drain.
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium. Whisk in flour. Mixture will be dry and very lumpy. Gradually whisk in milk, Dijon, salt and cayenne. Stir until mixture comes to a boil, 5 to 7 min. Remove pan from heat and stir in pasta, cheese and squash until just coated. Do not melt cheese. Transfer to an 8-inch- square baking dish or 6 individual ovensafe dishes. Sprinkle panko over pasta.
- Broil until top is golden, 2 to 3 min. Serve macaroni and cheese immediately.
